Chapter 1376
The neighbor's complaints only got louder. "Look, if someone's hand they're not opening the door, it means
they don't want to see you! Haven't you heard of calling or texting? You can't just keep pounding on the door.
There are neighbors on both sides, you know!" Hearing the argument outside escalate, Lydia had no choice but
to give in. She didn't care how long Eugene waited out there, but she did care about the neighbors. They didn't
deserve to be disturbed.
She walked briskly to the door, apologizing profusely to the neighbor. "I'm so sorry, | was sleeping deeply and
didn't hear the knocking. | didn't mean to disturb you. I'm really sorry."
"Fine, just take it inside. Whatever argument you two are having, don't make it the whole building's business,"
the neighbor muttered, their expression still sour but tempered by Lydia's sincere apology. After the neighbor
left, Lydia went to close the door, but Eugene quickly wedged his foot in, blocking it.

"Just letin, Lydia. We can talk back at home. If we keep standing here, people are going to start complaining
that we're disturbing the peace."
"Your behavior just now was indeed disturbing the peace, so don't blothers for calling you out on it," Lydia
retorted, pulling the doorknob firmly.
Eugene pushed back with equal determination, and they ended up in a standoff. After a tense moment, Lydia
abruptly let go, turning around and walking inside. At that moment, she felt utterly exhausted. "Lydia, you're
lettingin then," Eugene said, eagerly following her inside.
Once inside, he closed the door and walked over to Lydia, launching into the usual arguments. He had been
repeating that since they had already been intimate, they should just get married.
"Eugene, that night you broughthome, | spent a lot of tthinking things over. I've made up my mind
about us," Lydia said, looking directly at him.
She could see the possessiveness and insistence in his gaze, but not love or respect. His relentless pressure
these past few days had only worn her down further.
Eugene, sensing hope, quickly
asked, "What have you decided? The
cooling-off period is almost over. think next month is a perfect tto get our marriage certificate and then plan
a grand wedding. I'll give you a
day to remember."
"I just don't think we're a good fit, Eugene. In fact, | don't even think we should be friends," Lydia replied, barely
finishing before Eugene's face turned pale.
He looked as if he couldn't believe his ears. After all this time, didn't she owe him a commitment? How could she

"No, Lydia, you can't just do this to
me." He grabbed her hand. "If there's something | haven't done right, just tell me, and I'll fix it. But you can't just
writeoff like this. It's not fair!"
"Eugene, when it comes to
relationships, there's no such thing as fair or unfair. | understand you
like me, but no law says that just et
because you have feelings for me, | have to return them," Lydia
explained.
If he truly cared for her, he would respect her decision, rather than bulldozing forward, determined only to
possess her.
